This is not a bug.  You are supposed to write a semicolon after the
call of PG_MODULE_MAGIC.  If we put a semicolon into the macro value,
it would break every single correct usage (at least under compilers
that are picky about empty statements outside functions).

The same goes for PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1.
